	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 44, Havice.  California Peace Officers' Memorial Day.
   This measure would honor California peace officers and commemorate
Friday, May 5, 2000, as California Peace Officers' Memorial Day.




   WHEREAS, May 5, 2000, is California Peace Officers' Memorial Day,
a day Californians observe in commemoration of those noble officers
who have tragically sacrificed their lives in the line-of-duty; and
   WHEREAS, Although California citizens are indebted to our
California peace officers each day of the week, we make particular
note of their bravery and dedication and we share in their losses on
California Peace Officers' Memorial Day; and
   WHEREAS, California peace officers have a job second in importance
to none, and it is a job that is as difficult and dangerous as it is
important; and
   WHEREAS, The peace officers of California have worked devotedly
and selflessly on behalf of the people of this great state,
regardless of the peril or hazard to themselves; and
   WHEREAS, By the enforcement of our laws, these same officers have
safeguarded the lives and property of the citizens of California and
have given their full measure to ensure those citizens the right to
be free from crime and violence; and
   WHEREAS, Special ceremonies and observances on behalf of
California peace officers provide all Californians with the
opportunity to appreciate the heroic men and women who have dedicated
their lives to preserving public safety; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Members designate Friday, May 5, 2000,
as California Peace Officers' Memorial Day, and urge all Californians
to remember those individuals who gave their lives for our safety
and express appreciation to those who continue to dedicate themselves
to making California a safer place in which to live and raise our
families.
